    A used car salesman. As “country as a butter bean.” A convicted felon. And the “guru” of Bladen County politics. Everybody - including state investigators - wants to know more about McCrae Dowless.

    Slogged through the icy slush to pick up from the front sidewalk the Charlotte Observer & NY Times, both of which were where they were supposed to be (thanks). In the Minneapolis neighborhood in which I grew up, we had a word for weather such as this. April.
